In the blink of an eye, two alien bugs rushed to the feet of the two assistants at an astonishing speed, attempting to crawl up their pant legs to launch a further attack. anwhile, the elderly white man raised his pistol again, trying to suppress the assistants from moving recklessly, even though he still couldn’t fire it properly.
"Ti to close the net."
Having observed the situation here through Dream Avatar, Wang Zhifan decided it was ti to break his silence. He expanded the range of ice suppression, freezing the elderly white man and the bugs he spat out, ensuring the two assistants wouldn’t be attacked. At the sa ti, he walked to the laboratory door and banged forcefully on the tal panel.
"Open up! Security check!"
Even though it would have been easier to phase through the wall or use Dream Avatar’s teleportation ability, Wang Zhifan decided to proceed through conventional ans, which would benefit his subsequent work on this spaceship.
anwhile, inside the lab, the two young research assistants, hearing soone aggressively banging on the door from outside, summoned the courage. Just as they saw the professor in front of them frozen as if stunned and the strange bugs on the ground unmoving, they seized the mont to dash out of the lab, pressed the button to open the tal door, and saw Wang Zhifan pounding at the door outside.
"I’m the captain of the security departnt! I suspect there are abnormalities occurring here!"
Tall and imposing, Wang Zhifan blocked the two fleeing assistants at the lab entrance, speaking sternly to them.
"The professor...he wants to kill us!"
"Go quickly to restrain the professor!"
The two assistants, seeing the big and tall Wang Zhifan appear, nervously reported the situation to him and then hurriedly dashed outside.
"You two, quickly go find soone in charge! I’ll handle the situation here!"
Wang Zhifan did not stop their escape but instructed them to find soone responsible. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to properly deal with the ss caused by the old man. Besides, he didn’t know who could be in charge in this place.
"We’ll get the Chief!"
The two replied and then ran off.
Wang Zhifan watched them go before striding into the lab in front of him, turning to a side compartnt, to stand before the elderly white man he had under control.
He did not imdiately communicate with this peculiar fellow but focused his gaze on him, scrutinizing his abnormalities.
"You are indeed alive, and there’s a type of bug inside you...truly bizarre."
At such a close distance, Wang Zhifan could confirm so things with his powerful perception, though the facts before him were incomprehensible.
"The two things on the ground are what you spat out... are they offspring produced by the bugs inside you, or are you raising the bugs yourself? Or perhaps..."
He then fixedly stared into the eyes of the person he had subdued, questioning him.
The elderly white man’s sowhat cloudy eyeballs flickered upon hearing him. He wanted to speak but couldn’t control his body, as Wang Zhifan hadn’t lifted the restrictions on him yet.
However, it seed Wang Zhifan wasn’t interested in proper communication. He pushed the man to the wall, twisted his arms behind his back, physically restraining him, and also stepped on the two bugs underfoot, lifting the ice suppression thereafter.
A short ti later, a sound of footsteps approached outside the lab, and over a dozen people arrived at once.
Most were fully ard clone soldiers, surrounding a gray-haired, fifty-sothing white man in a white uniform, an aide holding a file next to him, and the two young assistants who had just fled the lab.
"Chief! We were working inside when the professor suddenly tried to shoot us!"
The two young people led them into the room where Wang Zhifan was, and, seeing that he had already taken control of the situation, promptly reported to the fifty-sothing white man who led the group.
"No! Chief! I didn’t intend to kill anyone! They are framing !"
By now, Wang Zhifan had lifted the ice suppression on the old man, allowing him to speak and defend himself in front of everyone.
"I can testify to another of his cris. He killed more than a dozen soldiers in the biological zone using a type of bioweapon, precisely these bugs under my foot."
Directly controlling the old man, Wang Zhifan spoke up, eyeing the man referred to as the Chief, speculating that he held a high position on the spaceship.
The fifty-sothing white man among the protected soldiers furrowed his eyebrows at hearing this. His gaze shifted to the old man, hand-cuffed by the tall and imposing Wang Zhifan, and the motionless "mantis shrimp" by his feet, making it hard not to doubt if they were mistaken.
"Captain Wang, you shouldn’t be so rough on an elderly man, and the bioweapon you ntioned doesn’t appear capable of killing my soldiers."
The Chief surprisingly knew Wang Zhifan but chose not to believe him imdiately.
"Don’t underestimate the bugs under my foot; they are highly aggressive and can control human corpses. More importantly, these sa bugs exist inside the professor! I suspect he’s been controlled by these bugs to do all this!"
Facing the skepticism, Wang Zhifan laid everything out on the table, revealing all the information he had so far without uttering a single useless word.
"Is that true?"
The Chief looked surprised after hearing Wang Zhifan’s account but also intrigued, proceeding to say,
"Take the professor for a full-body examination! Send the bugs on the ground to my lab!"
He was preparing to personally verify Wang Zhifan’s claims.
"Chief, don’t underestimate these bugs. The corpses they killed are still in the biological zone! You can send soone to check now!"
Feeling the situation might develop worse, Wang Zhifan promptly warned him.
"Don’t worry, Captain Wang, if you’re concerned, you can assist as well."
The Chief still appeared calm, offering additional reassurance.
"That would be best."
Wang Zhifan was not willing to let the situation spin out of control where he couldn’t see, so he agreed promptly.
Following that, Wang Zhifan personally escorted the old man, along with the two bugs, to the lab arranged by the Chief.
The lab was fully equipped. Upon examination, it was found that there was an unknown creature in the old scientist’s chest cavity, a large reproductive individual uniquely connected to his nervous system, causing a decisive impact.
Moreover, once the unknown creature inside the old man was removed, he would fall into a coma, losing all basic human functional abilities.
Those two bugs were also proven through experint to be highly dangerous, especially their corpse-controlling experint, which stunned the Chief.
"How extraordinary! I didn’t expect such marvelous lifeforms aboard my science vessel! This extraterrestrial species is extrely valuable for research! They may be the first alien life forms with the potential to evolve into a sentient species!"
Contrary to Wang Zhifan’s expectations, the Chief wasn’t horrified by these alien bugs’ ability to control humans. Instead, he was utterly delighted, considering them a treasure for scientific research.
While Wang Zhifan was speechless and bewildered by his reaction, he added words that left Wang Zhifan under pressure.
"Captain Wang, it’s thanks to you this crisis was averted, or the Brave’s expedition would have faced trendous trouble. Please keep up the good work; there are over two hundred stellar systems to explore, and visiting those planets in person is up to you."
